Application filed lvlaylO, 1900. Serial No. 16,227. tNo mariel-l y To all whom, t may concern.

Be it known that I, JOHN E. KELLY, acitizen of the United States, residing at Victor, in the county of Moore and State of North Carolina, have invented a new and useful Manual-Training and Industrial Apparatus, of which the following is a specification.

The invention relates to improvements in manual-training and industrial apparatus.

The object of the present invention is to provide for manual-training and industrial schools a simple and comparatively inexpensive apparatus designed for enabling pupils of such schools to be instructed in an entire course of such training and adapted to be readily transported and to be conveniently operated in a comparatively small space.

The invention consists in the construction and novel combination and arrangement of parts hereinafter fully described, illustrated in the accompanying drawings, and pointed out in the claims hereto appended.

In the drawings, Figure 1 is a front elevation of an apparatus constructed in `accordance with this invention. Fig. 2 is an end elevation of the same. Fig. 3 is a plan view. Fig. 4 is a vertical sectional view. Fig. 5 is a detail sectional View illustrating the manner of mounting the vertical spindle or shaft ofthe former. Fig. 6 is a detail sectional View illustrating the construction of the bearings for the vertical shaft or spindle. Fig. 7 is a vertical sectional view taken at right angles to Fig. 5.

Like numerals of reference designate corresponding parts in all the figures of the drawings.

1 designates a supporting-frame composed of oppositely-inclined end standards 2 and 3, bottom bars 4: and 5, connecting the lower ends of the standards, and parallel top bars 6, forming the bed of a lathe and spaced apart, as clearly illustrated in Fig. 3 of the accompanying drawings. The supporting-frame is provided at its ends with suitable bearings for a horizontal shaft 7, which extends entirely across the supporting-frame from one end to the other and is connected by sprocketgearing with a drive or crank shaft 3, from which it receives its motion. The drive or crank shaft S, which is journaled in suitable bearings of the supporting-frame at the bottom thereof, is provided with central and side cranks 9 and 10, and it has suitable pedals 11 and l2 mounted on the saine and adapted to be engaged by the feet of the operator, an adjustable seat 13 being provided for the accommodation of the latter. The adjustment of the seat may be effected by any suitable means to enable it to be properly positioned to suit the convenience of the operator and to permit the proper power to be applied to suit the character ofthe work to be performed. The seat, which may be constructed in any suitable manner, is secured to the outer ends of supporting bars or arms which are mounted on the supporting-frame at the ends thereof. The drive or crank shaft 8 carries a sprocketwheel 15, which is connected by a sprocket chain 16 with a pinion 17 of the horizontal central shaft 7, and these sprocket-gearsinay be keyed or otherwise secured to their respective shafts.

` At one end of the horizontal shaft 7 is arranged a large stepped pulley 18, adapted to receive a belt 19 for connecting it with a reversely-arranged small stepped pulley 20 of a horizontal shaft or spindle 21, which is adapted, by means of the said pulleys 1S and 20, to be run at different speeds, as will be readily apparent. The large pulley 18 is provided at its inner face with a series of concentric gears 22, adapted to mesh with a spurpinion 23 of a vertical shaft 24, and these concentric gears, which may consist'of independent rings secu red to the inner face of the pulley, can be constructed in any suitable manner and are adapted for driving the vertical shaft 24E at different rates of speed, as will be readily apparent. The spu r-pinion 23, which is mounted on the vertical shaft 24, is capable of vertical adjustment to arrange it in mesh with any one of the central gears of the large pulley 18. The vertical shaft 24, which is located at the exterior of the adjacent end of the frame, is journaled in a bearing 25, which is designed to be adjustably and detachably secured to the frame and which consists of a4 bar extending across the space between the legs or standards 2, as clearly illustrated in Fig. 4 of the accompanying drawings.

The horizontal shaft or spindle 2l, which is arranged at the top of the supporting-frame,

is journaled in suitable brackets or supports ing the work, if found necessary or desirable.'

Also a spur or sprocket pinion may he substituted for the emery-wheel for driving other attachments or machinery.

The inner end of the horizontal shaft or spindle 2l carries a nut 3l, adapted for securing circular saws and various other devices for cutting or otherwise operating on Wood or metal to the sh-aft, and it is provided with spurs 32 to enable it to operate as a chuck. Various tools, polishing devices, and the like may be conveniently mounted on the inner end of the shaft 2l for operating on various objects and materials for a variety of purposes. chuck may be mounted on the inner end of the shaft for holding either material or tools.

The upper end of the shaft 24 carries a horizontal pulley 33, which is adapted to receive a horizontal belt 34 for a purpose hereinafter explained, and the horizontal shaft 7 also carries a combined pulley and balance-wheel 35, which is provided at its inner face with a series of concentric gears 36, adapted to mesh with a vertically-adjustable pinion 37 of a vertical shaft 38, disposed opposite the vertical shaft 24 and mounted in a like manner and provided at its upper end with a horizontal pulley. 39.

The pulley 35 is adapted to receive the belt 40, which is detachably arranged on a small pulley 4l of a fan-shaft 42 of a suitable rotary fan 43, adapted to drive a blast of air through a tapering tube 44 to a forge 45,

mounted upon a suitable support at the righti hand side of the su pporting-frame, as clearly shown in Fig. l. The upper end of the tube or conduit 44 is connected with the air and cinder box 46 at the bottoni of the forge, and a nipple 47 is provided ata point between the ends of the tube or conduitfor the attachment of a flexible tubeA or other suitable means for carrying a blast of air in front of the operator for removing dust, shavings, and the like from the work. Also such a flexible tube may be connected with a blowpipe, gasolene or spirit lamps, and various other devices and operations where a blast of air or air under pressure may be necessary or desirable. The forge 45, which is closed, as shown, is adapted for light smithwork of a general character and is designed to furnish heat for various other operations, and the top or casing is preferably removable from the base, so that it may be utilized as a furnace, the base being adapted to receive a vertical boiler which may be connected with a verti- Also any other form of clutch or' cal or other engine for demonstrating .theapplication of steam or for other purposes. rlhe pipeor conduit 44 is provided at a pointabove the. nipple or branch 47 with a cutoff or gate 48 for controlling or entirely shutting off the air from the forge, to regulate the latter, and t-o prevent air from entering the same when the nipple or branch 47 is in use.

Acombined vise and anvil 49 is arranged at the right-hand side of the apparatus adjacent tothe forge, and at one side of the combined vise and anvil is located a box or support 50, adapted to receive a kit oftools. 'lhe forge maybe readily detached and removed from the support upon which it is mounted when desired.

lfdesi red, a train of gears may be connect ed with the drive or power shaft for obtaining a slow speed with great power or level'- age, which may be advantageously utilized vfor raising heavy objects or for operating punching, shearing, and other attachments requiring great power and slow speed. The framework may be constructed of any suitable material, either wood or metal, and itis preferably mounted upon casters to enable it to be readily moved about.

The apparatus is provided at its back with dynanios 51 and 52, which may be driven simultaneously or independently and which may be employed for lighting the apparatus at night or for any other work or operation for which a dynamo may be employed. The dynamo 5l is provided with a pulley 53,which is connected by a belt 54 with the combined balance-wheel and pulley 35. The other dynamo 52 is connected by a bell 55 with the large pulley 18 at the left-hand side ofthe machine. be removed when it is not desired to operate the dynamos, which are adapted for general electrical Work.

The belt 34, which is arranged horizontally, extends from the horizontal pulley at the uppei-end of the shaft 24 to a vertical spindle or shaft 56, which is adapted to carry a knife 57 or other suitable tool or device for shaking, grooving, or otherwise operating on inaterial. The shaft or spindle 56 is journaled in upper and lower bearings 58 of an approximately U-shaped frame, which is located be tween the horizontal bars 6, which form the bed of the lathe, and which is secured to a These belts .54 and 55 are designed to transverse plate 59, arranged on the upper face of the bed of the lathe and detachably secured thereto by a vertical rod or bolt 60,

as clearly shown in Fig. 7 of the accompanyremoved by unscrewing the thumb-nut 6l and detaching the bar or plate 62. rlhe vertical shaft or spindle 56 extends through an openingl of an adjustable table 63 and is threaded at 64 for the reception of a nut 65, which `secures the knife 57 or other tool to the shaft or spindle. The table, which is adapted to be raised or lowered to suit the character of the tool and the size of the Work, is provided at its front with a depending arm, which extends through an opening of the plate 5) and is engaged by a set-screw G7, that. is mounted in a threaded perforation of the said plat-e 59. The belt 34 is arranged on a pulley 68 of the vertical shaft or spindle 56; but, if desired, the latter may be connected at its lower end with one of the vertical shafts, which are driven by the concentric gears. Also any suitable device may be provided for compressing or liquefying air, and I desire it to be understood that various changes in the form, proportion, and minor details of construction within the scope of the appended claims maybe resorted to without departing from the spirit or sacrificing any of the advantages of the invention.

It will be seen that the apparatus is simple and comparatively inexpensive in construction, that it is especially designed for use in industrial and manual-training schools, that it will enable a pupil to be fully instructed in all the branches of a complete course in such schools, and that it will develop all of the muscles of the body and does not overt-ax the upper portion of the body and leave the lower limbs undeveloped. It will also be apparent that the apparatus is adapted for operating all kinds of devices and attachments for operating on wood, metal, and other material and that a variety of speeds is provided for enablingl such attachments and devices to be properly operated.
